I need to buy a helmet for the cable park. What do you guys reccomend? tried to look at pro tec's webstie and there are no wake/water helmets on it.? I like the looks of the pro tec's that I have seeen just cant find any on the internet.

Austin, that's the one I bought, except it has the visor, The Watts. The Bern helmets with Brock foam have really worked great for me, and while the ear flaps may not come into play every fall, the few times they do, they're worth their weight in gold.

used a bunch of waterproof helmets over the years and honestly think they all suck. Much prefer regular skate pads. Soaks up sweat and when you get hot in the summer you can dunk it in the water and it keeps your head cool. Fits my head better and is just more comfortable.
Currently have a pro-tec B2 skate helmet that I've been using for years. Also really like the classic skate.

See i ordered a classic pro tec but at the time i thought it was a wake one. I got it in the night i left oklahoma down to texas to spend spring break in the cabins at BSR so i just took the skate model that i ordered with me and it absolutely sucked in the water. the pads came out it smelled no good! I don't like ear coverage and don't believe ill bust an ear drum at the cable because i usually ride boat no helmet and we go faster than the cable on boat. On the pro tec website there are no wake/water helmets and i don't want to end up with another skate one! where can i pick a different one up at? And whats the best wake/water pro tec model?

I use a pro-tec two face. It's a water helmet with a small visor on one side. It's reversible so you can wear it with the visor in front or back. I don't think they make it anymore, but you can still find it online.

i just got a Gath helmet. really good for ear protection (esp as the one I got has moulded ear protection). I work in sound, so burst eardrum is not something I can risk.

they're lower profile than other helmets I've tried, so potentially less absorption/impact protection. That said, as is confirmed by their marketing blurb, this is to minimise the 'bucket effect' of getting whiplash from hitting the water hard with a larger surface area than a normal sized head.

I actually find Shred Ready incredibly uncomfortable and cumbersome, seems to sit on mine and others' heads in an odd way. Great if multiple people are using the same helmet, but not for a long day's riding.

also check this website every day or so http://www.dealadaywake.com/ they throw up some awesome deals on year old boards sometimes and bindings to boot.. ha... ok... but if you see something up there or i do and it might fit the bill you can comment and tell us and Im sure we can help tell you if its a good deal or not. If the board didnt change from 12 to 13 and you like the older graphic fine/better then why not save ~50% of you money right?

If you want one like mine, you can go to shopping.google.com or ebay.com and search for "bern macon h2o". I would probably do that anyway rather than buying directly from Bern's website, since you can probably find a better sale price somewhere else.
